Families of the men and women who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks want the memorial planned for the site of the the Twin Towers changed. The present plan, called "The Reflecting Absence" will outline he place where the Twin Towers stood with reflecting pools and the names of the victims. The problem: It will be underground...a tree-lined plaza will be built above ground at the site. Local police and firemen, who were first responders, are concerned over the small number of exits from the memorial in case of fire or another terrorist attack. Family members want the memorial above ground so that everyone can see, not just the ones who venture underground.
Personally I think they're all wrong, we don't need a memorial of either kind, the most fitting memorial is to rebuild the towers, rebuild them and add 3 more stories to it and shove it right back in the terrorists arrogant faces. By doing this we will be telling them: You knocked down the last ones and we've got even better ones now. To commemorate the people who died on 9/11 I would suggest putting up engravings inside the towers on each floor and list the people who worked on that floor. For the brave firemen and policemen who went in and didn't come back out put their names on two of the extra three stories in order of their stations and their response. The pilots and passengers of the two flights that crashed into them should be put on the top floor.
